MACHINED PUSHERS:

This fitting probably should be the one called tee, but the name tee was already in use for a different fitting, therefore I came up with Pusher. The fitting is very similar to the tee except the vertical stick is perpendicular to the horizontal hole; instead of the tee’s vertical hole is perpendicular to the horizontal hole. This should be clearer in the photo.

Commonly used in box kites for attaching cross sticks to the longerons without going thru the sail. I used them on the Grand-son, fore & aft, to join the vertical stick to the bottom longeron.

Do not forget to specify both stick sizes when ordering this fitting, so I know what size holes to drill in the part.
